Ba Galatiya 2

1 Nikwakinda myaka kkumi ayiine ndakabweda ku Jelusalema a Bbanabbasi, ndakabweza Tito alakwe.

Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];

2 Ndakinka nkambo kachiyubunuzyo akubapandulwida makani ngindakali kukambawuka akati kabamaasi. Ndakambula kunsiswa abalemekeka, kuti ndibe akanzambwenene kuti kuchijana - teendakachijana- chabuyo.

and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;

3 Asi nekuba kuti Tito wakali andime awakali mu Giliki, bakasungilizya kupalulwa.

(but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised; )

4 Bakwesu babeji bakaza munsiswa kuzolingula lwangunuko ndutulalo muli Kkilisito Jesu. Bakali kuyanda kutuchita bazike.

and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

5 Pesi tetwaka zumina kulibombya kulimbabo muchiindi chinini, kuchitila kuti simpe lyamakani mabotu likkalilile mulindinywe.

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.

6 Asikulabo balikulangila kulemekwa ( kufumbwa mbubakabede takwe nichamba chintu kulindime, Leza talangilili chiimo) -abo, ndati, abo bakalikulangika nkabalemekeka tabayungizizye chintu kulindime.

But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat — whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

7 Musiyano, bakazobona kuti ndakapegwa makani mabotu kulabo batapalwidwe, mbokunga Pita wakapegwa makani mabotu kulaabo bapalwidwe.

but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,

8 Nkambo Leza, wakabeleka kuli Pita kubutumwa kulibabo bapalwidwe, wakabeleka kulindime kulibamaasi.

(for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles, )

9 Awo Jemusi, Kkefasi a Joni, abo bakali minsemu, bakabona luzyalo ndundakapegwa, bakamuzuminina Bbanabbasi ambebo. Bakatuzuminina kuti twiinke kuli bamaasi ambabo bayekulabo bapallwidwe.

and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas [the] right hands of fellowship, that we [should go] to the nations, and they to the circumcision;

10 Bakakumbila kutituyeeye bachete, nchintu nchindakalibambilide kuchita.

only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.

11 Asi Kafasi nakasika ku Antiyoki, ndakamukazya kumeso akwe nkambo wakalijana kalamulandu.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:

12 Nkabatanasika balumi bakazwide kuli Jemusi, Kkefasi wakali abamaasi. Pesi nibakasika balum, wakaleka wakalisosolosya kulibamaasi. Wakayoowa abobakali kuyandisisya bupalule.

for before that certain came from James, he ate with [those of] the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of [the] circumcision;

13 Abobo boonse bamaJuda bakanjilana awe mukuwupawupa. Nikuba Bbanabbasi wakapambuka abo mukuwupawupa kwabo.

and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.

14 Pesi nindakababona kuti kuchita kwabo takuli kwakutobela simpe lyamakani mabotu pe, Ndakati kuli Kkefasi kunembo lyabo boonse, “Kuti nkoli mu Juda nkoli kupona mbuli muJuda, ulalangila biyeni bamaasi kuti bapone mbuli bama Juda?”

But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?

15 Iswetubeni tuli maJuda mukuzyalwa pepe bamaasi basizibi,

We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,

16 Eno tulizi kuti takwe muntu ululamikwa amilimu yamulawu pesi kulusyomo muli Kkilisito Jesu. Iswe twakasyoma muli Kkilisito Jesu ikuti tululamikwe a lusyomo muli Kkilisito kutali kwamilimo yamulawu. Kumilimo yamulawu takwe nyama iyolulamikwa.

but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

17 Pesikuti twayanda kululamikwa muli Kkilisito, iswebo tuyojanwa nkatuli basizibi, lino Kkilisito mubelesi wabasizibi?

Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.

18 Kuti nkelikuyakulula zintu nzindaka mwayide, ndili tondezya kuti ndichili sikutyola mulawu.

For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.

19 Kambo kwinda kumulawo ndakafwa kumulawo, kuti ndiponene Leza

For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.

20 Ndakabambulwa antomwe a Kkilisito, Takucheensi ndime upona, asikuti Kkilisito ngupona mulindime. Ibuumi lino mbwendipona munyama ndapona mulusyomo mumwana a Leza, Oyo wakandiyanda wakapelida kambo kangu.

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

21 Nsibikide kumbali luzyalo lwa Leza, ikuti bululami bwalikujanwa kwinda mumuulo, unoli Kkilisito wakafwida chabuyo!

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
